The Ecodesign EU 2019/2020 requirements remains relevant topic for several years now. In order to systematize the knowledge, we have created a series „Exploring Ecodesign” about the obligations of Ecodesign for manufacturers and importers of lighting on the EU market. In the first post you will learn about important dates and the obligations imposed by [...]

A year from now, at the end of 2021, the new Commission Regulation EU 2019 2020 (Ecodesign) enters into force. The specific requirements for electrical equipment including LED light sources are changing. In addition to the new energy efficiency classes, completely new minimum requirements for flicker and the so-called stroboscopic effect are introduced. Lamp manufacturers, [...]

Flicker and Stroboscopic Visibility Measure (SVM) to be introduced by the revised Ecodesign Regulation for light sources by the end of 2019. Evaluation and measurements of optical flicker is a new task for electronic developers who provide solutions for LED lighting applications. When new drivers, power supplies or dimming electronics is purchased or designed, engineers [...]
